Majofo

Majofo

I can't believe altarboy minored in int'l biz and can't get a jerb in that field.. dem gators mang.

Yumcha

Lemme guess...you majored in special oils?



Just kidding...Comp Sci/Eng?

Yumcha

I majored in wobots.

TacoBello

Please, Just Joe went to the school of hard knocks. You don't want to know what he majored in.

Majofo

Electrical, my focus was very broad though.. centered on systems and comms (dsp, wireless, RF, coding). I also did device physics and comp sci.
I basically took every math and engineering course I could take out of self-interest. I maxed 21 credits a semester to get the most value, even audited some courses when the dean wouldn't approve more courses

Majofo

I mean, I majored in pimping hos and slangin' that yay... MS-69 trick as ho!

Yumcha

Lubrication is a specialization.

Majofo

Too many engineers mang.. it's important as a life skill and to advance ourselves to the next level (AI - robots killing us all)
But.. I'd do it all again, and follow my ese into med school. He was always trying to get me to go too..
He just heard on Monday that he placed, on Friday, he'll know where he's going..

TacoBello

and yet you're not proficient in playing piano or the violin. Shame. Much shame.

Gets A+++ in all maff courses. Still Shame. Didn't practice piano or violin enough.

<<<Would play Doctor with Majofo, even with zero credentials.

TacoBello

credit dis!

thoiboi

But now you got a decent paying job at a well known company !!

Majofo

I did not get A+++ in all maff courses.. I seriously had nazi commie math teachers.
One 100 year old Chinese fucker gave me an C on a test because I crossed out my original proof on a main problem and restarted (I made simple arithmetic error).
My proof and answer were right, but because I had crossed out the original... no credit. He was always going on about how Math is art.. Fucking cunt.

I also had this incompetent diff eqs / lin alg prof who was bipolar. Fucking gave me a B+ for the class even though I got all A's on the test and HW. Said he needed a cutoff..
Had some shit about only giving 2 A's a class. I complained to the Dean but he fucking laughed.
School is bullshit in many regards.. I just laughed at the notion that they don't get any pussy and all they can do is watch.

My ese who is in med school.. he had a prof out for him. He complained about grading, complained to dean and then had that teacher tell him grading is subjective (pretty much saying he's going to fail him if he continues)
Well that prof was a hunchback creepo (PhD from MIT but couldn't get punani if he paid for it), he was creeping on this fine Korean girl who was outside in student quad.
My bro goes up and says, you ready babe? (his gf), the prof was so jealous.. he was fucking mad son.. til this day we still joke about that.

Trick!

I give major props to those who are able to go back to school, especially when they have a family in tow. Much respect to them, and their horrendously droopy, sleep deprived eyes.

I work with a Consultant who's doing his MBA now. Full time engineer during the day with plenty of OT, full family life after work (with 3 kids, none are over 6 years), and cramming an MBA in between. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

thoiboi

Fuck .. makes me wonder if I should bother with an MBA sooner rather than later

cu2wagon

and

Do school when you're young. Definitely before having kids.

Yumcha

MBA from which skoo...?

TacoBello

UofA. He's local to here and put family before everything else. He's not looking to take over Google. Just wanted to further himself.

His company paid for half his education, but because of that, he's tied to them for at least 2 years after graduating, or he has to pay them back. I get the feeling he won't really be moving up the chain of command with where he works now, because of the MBA. He's a good engineer/PM, but I don't really see how his MBA will tie into his role with the company.

Yumcha

Only from a good school, dude. Otherwise...waste. Of. Money.

Yumcha

Top MBA skoos: Business school rankings from the Financial Times - FT.com

Not the DEFINITIVE list...but, yeah...

TacoBello

That's not true. We will have to agree to disagree, because I've met a few people with MBAs in nice comfy positions that didn't go to Ivy League (or similar prestigious) schools for their MBA. They don't complain about making 250-300k a year either

But then again, working for Alberta Health Services seems to be a haven for overpriced execs making crazy salaries. I'm sure every health authority in the country is the same. Tax payer dollas!!! :makeitrain:

cu2wagon

You gotta go to Whartons if you want an MBA to be worth something bigly. It's the best school, tremendous really, and they have the best and smartest people that graduate there. It's yuge.

Yumcha

FWIW, Taco...don't interpret what I say as "hating". I get that what I'm spewing about here could be perceived as snobbery. But, growing up, this was literally beaten into me for certain diplomas...

As a rule, most growing up from Draconian-type parents know that the ONLY exceptions to what school for diploman are: medicine, dentistry, engineering, accounting, and pharmacy. The rest, it's ALL about the darn school or, it means NOTHING. You may as well quit or kill yourself.

When I was talented enough in piano, the rule was this: If I am serious about pursuing it, my list of music schools was on ONE hand...Peabody, Julliard, Eastman, Cleveland, and Indiana. Period. Everywhere else, quit. If I get IN, it MUST be with scholarship...cuz, even without it, it's irrelevant to get into those schools. MBA, same thing...must be in the Top 10 lists...or, irrelevant...ESPECIALLY since I'm ...my Pops said, different story if I was white.

So, yeah...it's kinda ingrained.

thoiboi

Yeah.. it was going to be USC or nothing :/

Yumcha

Tell me...which of those execs in AHS is a visible minority?

EXCEPTION is the Pres...but, hey...she's a doctor. And I call her Connie Chung.

Yumcha

You'll raff...but, it was Harvard. And I was like, no whey.

thoiboi

What's wrong with University of South Carolina!??!?!

thoiboi

No Berklee?!?!? Shameeeeee



parents place a ridiculous amount of attention on 'the name'


look at all these driving around in nice cars just because it's "porsche" or a "maserati" and wearing designer bags/shoes...

Go civil engineering--no matter how bad the post-apocalyptic world turns out to be, everybody poops!

And the pay is good enough to let you afford some sweet, sweet UA7 love.

hi, starboy!
